playing a tune at startup

[Glenn / Lenny]

Since GRUB 2, I haven't known how to alter GRUB, I would like to set the 
time-out, and it would be nice to have a beep for each item, or at least a 
beep at the top and bottom, and I would like to change the order of the 
items.
Maybe it is easier now, but I don't know how to do it.
Thanks for any info.
Glenn

Thank you, Sir! Got it, installed the beep utility, and now I have a cavalry 
charge on boot-up!


GRUB_INIT_TUNE="800 523 2 698 2 880 2 1046 1 1 3 880 2 1046 4"

What a nifty utility!
